Special Greetings from the UNIST President

"It is time to make concerted efforts in turning UNIST into another MIT of Korea."

The law for the status change of UNIST has finally been confirmed by the National Assembly! This is a valuable result after 3 years of effort since its first proposal. Although the road that seemed to be very close and reachable, turned out to be a long and arduous journey with many ups and downs, it certainly was a meaningful experience. We know that this experience will be an invaluable asset in reaching our goal, ‘to become a world top 10 university by 2030.’

Dear all UNIST members!

That status change of UNIST could only have been achieved with the dedication and joint support of all members of UNIST, the Ulsan government, 1.2 million Ulsan citizens and Ulsan politicians from both the ruling and opposition parties. I deeply appreciate all your efforts, time and sincerity.

Dear all UNIST members!

Now, it is time to make concerted efforts in making of UNIST into another MIT or Stanford of Korea. I believe that would be the way we can respond to the supporters of UNIST who have tirelessly given their time and energy. The law revision will bring many changes to the system. I would cordially encourage you to put your best efforts in creating of the fundamental foundation with new systems and regulations as UNIST makes a quantum leap.
